Day on a Plate – Winter

Hey there! I thought it might be fun to share a Day on a Plate: Winter edition. During the seasons we tend to eat different dishes, like warm, hearty foods during winter and light, fresh salads in summer. That’s why I’ve decided to create days on a plate for every season.

So what do I eat during winter?

Even though Australian winters aren’t as long, cold and harsh as the European winters I am used to, I do crave warm and nourishing foods and hot drinks. My weekday meals are pretty routine, as I work full-time and prep what I eat for the week.
